With the 2013 NFL Draft only a little over two weeks away, the Buffalo Bills invited four more draft-eligible prospects to team facilities on Wednesday. For the seventh time, a quarterback was one of them.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley, one of the most polarizing players available in this year's draft, made his official visit at One Bills Drive. Opinions on Barkley vary; some think he is a first round pick, while others believe he may be more of a developmental type that should be taken outside of the first day.

This is the third exposure the Bills have had with Barkley since the NFL Combine wrapped up. Assistant GM Doug Whaley attended the USC pro day, the Bills held a private workout with Barkley at USC and now the pre-draft visit in Orchard Park.

Jordan is the top name of the Wednesday group, likely to be a top-10 selection on April 25. He is a pass rushing linebacker that looks to be a fit for a 3-4 defense. Ogletree, an inside linebacker, is also expected to be a first round pick.

Rogers, who transferred out of the University of Tennessee ahead of last season, is the third former Volunteers wideout to visit One Bills Drive over the past week. He is expected to be anywhere from a second to fourth-round pick.

The Bills have now conducted 23 official pre-draft visits. Teams in the NFL are alotted 30 leading up to the annual selection meeting in New York City.

Here is a list of who has already made their visits to One Bills Drive:
